You hear a lot about fecal transplantations these days, but what happens when you disturb a full scale wastewater treatment plant with a massive activated sludge transplantation? Find @GiuliaDottorini at poster 391 to talk about it!

How does the sewages affect the diversity of the activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants? Rodrigo has some very interesting theories on that! Catch his poster pitch today at 15.18 in auditorium B or find him at his poster 143. #ISME18

You can also have a talk with @zivilekon about her great work on #epiphytic #saprospiraceae and what they do at poster 92! #ISME18

Want to hear more about some awesome #Accumulibacter? Look no further than @francescapetr1 and poster 195 this afternoon at #ISME18

Take a look at our recent paper, frontiersin.org/articles/10.…, where @zivilekon and team visualise and explore the genomes and storage compounds of novel Saprospiraceae species in activated sludge! @LauraValk1 , @francescapetr1 , @CaitySing , @MartaNierychlo , @msdueholm, @PerHNielsen

5 million full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences from 749 wastewater treatment plants from across the globe! The same genera are prevalent worldwide in activated sludge, and few abundant species are shared worldwide. Read the paper from @msdueholm et al : nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Sometimes we do big important experiments and sometimes... sometimes we clean! (And of course rewarded our self with cakes afterwards)

Our very own lab technician, Susanne, has been awarded the AAU working environment award by nomination of @MadsAlbertsen85 Beside always being ready to help in the lab, she also makes everone in the group feel welcome and appriciated! Congratulation and thank you, Susanne! 🎉

On top of that, @francescapetr1 also won the best poster for her poster on Candidatus Accumulibacter: a refined phylogeny reveals the existence of novel species, their potential function, and their global distribution. Congratulation to both! @MEWE2021 @mewe_iwa #MEWE2021 #MEWE9

Big day for @PHNLab 🎉 The winner of this year Ardern-Lockett award was announced at @MEWE2021 and was awarded to @PerHNielsen. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to research and practice in the field of Microbial Ecology and Water Engineering.
